Hi everyone,
I passed the 70-271 and 70-272 exams on March 29. I still have not
received an email from Microsoft. I called 1-800-636-7544 this morning, and
the rep could not find my ID, name, or email address. He said it might take
a few more days before they get my info. I took the tests at a Vue center.
Should I contact the test center? Should I be patient?

PS: For those who are preparing for these exams, I studied the MS Self-Paced
and Transcender kits for one week. These prepared me very well, as the
actual tests were much easier and I was able to score both in the 900 range.

I understand that perspective, and I'm chill about it.

But seriously, four days is a long time in this industry. You would think
my test center would be able to transmit my data to Microsoft instantly.
What is it that I'm waiting for? It's not like they mail my test results to
the call center in India via UPS (please allow 4-6 weeks for customs
inspection) ...or do they?

You took the test going into the weekend. Your email should arrive this
week. If not by Friday, contact the Microsoft Region Support Center.
Good Luck.

I would say just be patient. I took my test on March 26th and I haven't
received an email yet. I am not concerned. It will happen.

You have to order your welcome kit, after that, takes between four to six
weeks until you get.
You must go too MCP web site to do that.

understand why I do not get my e-mail invitation yet, so I can take test
70-621 for vista!!!!

How was the exam. Did the exam cover everything that was in the MCDST
70-271 and 272 Training Kit from Microsoft? Was those are the books you used
to study for the exam? Look forward to hear your feedback.

The exams were much easier than expected. The sample questions in the MS
Training Kits are more difficult. I studied the training kit for 70-271, but
didn't bother for 70-272. I also used the Transcender tests for both exams
to gauge myself.

Today I passed the 70-270 with an 873, definitely a bit more difficult. But
again, not as difficult as the study material (got the MS Training Kit for
this one). I'm going for MSCA now, btw.

Original poster here. Still no email.
I'll never understand why it takes so long. Two weeks? Everyone says "be
patient", but come on: at $100 a pop, we should get faster service!

Have you called your testing center concerning this matter? Request that
they resend your results.

This isn't drive-thru and they're not on the clock. And this isn't a
service.
